1000Pianos, a revolutionary non-profit ambitious project that is bringing music to the streets! Our goal is to place 1000 permanent all-weather, eco-friendly smart pianos in city centers around the world. Our mission is to enliven the streets with music and cultural activity, fostering a sense of community through the universal language of music all year long.  These pianos are not only beautiful to look at - they are the most durable instruments in the world and are also eco-friendly and built to withstand moisture, rain, UV rays, dust, snow and intensive public use. Whether you're a school student, senior, or just someone passing by, we invite you to join in the fun and play one of our pianos. 1000Pianos is not only bringing music to the streets of major cities, but also to communities in developing countries and Africa. Our mission is to provide equal opportunities for children to access and learn music. We believe that music has the power to heal, and to inspire. Our goal is to bring this transformative power of music to children who may not have access to it otherwise. By providing them with accessible pianos in public places, we are giving them the opportunity to express themselves, to dream, and to create. We want to empower these children to reach their full potential through the beauty and magic of music. Imagine a world where the sounds of music fill the air and bring people together in shared joy. With 1000Pianos, that vision is becoming a reality. Join us in creating a more musical world for all.
